Ski Safari 2 Hits the Slopes This Week

While it may never have reached the top of the mobile gaming world in the way Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, or Where’s My Water? did, Ski Safari is a game that came ridiculously close. There’s a very good chance that you’ve played it, a spin-off, or a derivative at some point in the last three years. And no matter how you’ve consumed it (my preferred method will always be Ski Safari: Adventure Time), you’ll be pleased to learn that there’s more coming this week.

Ski Safari 2 is set to hit the App Store this Thursday, August 27th. And judging by the trailer, you’ll be strapping a lot more than just skis to your feet. From dirt bikes and mine carts to a player piano, there looks to be an absurd amount of variety this time around. The developers are promising more than a dozen vehicles and animals that you can ride, and three distinctly different environments (snow, tornadoes, and lava).

The gameplay has some new tweaks too. In addition to the single-tap gameplay you’re used to, players will be able to swipe to do tricks. They’re also introducing a multiplayer component and photo mode.

Get your skis shined up, friends. You’ll be able to hit the mountain on iOS and Android this Thursday for $1.99.
